Zhan Guo Period (the
Warring States Periods) (about 5th century BC –
221 BC)
These two potteries are
about 2200 years old. In the Warring States period, China
was divided into many small kingdoms. The kiln technology
had a big development at that time. The temperature could be
kept at a very high level so that the products were much
harder. The decoration was also much better in this period.
The workers learned to stamp patterns on the surfaces.
These two potteries have stamped patterns and
this design affected the design of tea containers in the
later dynasties.
